Going To The South.

Capt. Richardson, of the Manzan.
itd, expects to get away tomorrow
on a trip to the south, with light
house supplies. He has on board a
keeper for a southern coast light
house, and will take from Cape Han
cock, Keeper Carlson, who has been
transferred to Cape Arago. The
UdnzGnitd will go to the extreme
limit of the district and on her re-
turn will replace buoys at Coos bay,
Alsea, Yaquina and elsewhere. The
district is large enough and has
work enough for two such vessels as
the M0nzGnita, and proper recog-
milton by the government OF the
amount of work required would place
an additional vessel in this district.

Arrival Of the COrwin.

The revenue cutter IhOS. COTlCin
arrived yesterday afternoon from
San Francisco, and it was with sur
prise and regret that the officers
learned that it had been reported
that the vessel had met with an acci.
dent off the bar. Mr.. Kelly the chief
engineer, says there was not a grain
of truth in the report. They left
San Francisco on the 9Th inst. put
in at Humboldt bay, examined the
life stations there, from there steamed
to Coos bay, leaving there yesterday
morning. The COr1oin will make
but brief stay here this time, but SO
soon as repairs to the Rush are com.
pleted, she will return here, some
time in December, and winter at As
toria.

1t is believed in Washington, that
the Alaska part OF the fisheries con-
tention will not be considered at the
coming fisheries conference. The
reason for this belief is that the de-
partment of state has not called up
on the treasury department for any
reports or facts in connection with
the seizures by the revenue cutters.
Should the commissioners arrive at
an understanding very quickly, then
the Alaskan question may be brought
up, but otherwise not.

As il happens that q good loud humming
top can be made without expense, and we
feel certain that some Of our young readers
will want TO try their han at it, we give an
illustration with directions, which appeared
originally in Golden Days:
The materials are an empty baking powder
canister, or any wooden tox, and two pieces
Of frewood. The plan Of operations is 20
cut "A slit in the side of the box answering TO
the hole in the toy, making it half NJ inch
square or round, as the case may be, and
making a hole in the lid and bottom Of the
box for the spindle 10 come through. To
make a good job Of it, the bottom hole
should be square and the top hole round, and
the spindle should be cut 10 fit, pushing it in,
Of course, from the bottom.
When the holes and spindle are cut, put n
little glue round the lid TO make the box
tight, and inser, the spindle with n little glue
at each hole. For the usual fork or handle
with which the top Is spun, a plain Slip Of
wood with a hole at the end will be found to
answer. Very simple preparations all these,
and yet everything is ready except the string
When the top is dry, wind round me string,
passing it through ~ nole in the handle, as
shown, ana spin. That is all we need say
about the homemade humming top.

Fast Trains.

1t Is commonly supposed in this country
that in England sixty miles an hour Is not un-
COMMON time for railroad trains. While this
rate of speed may be often attained between
stations, 1t does not hold for long distances.
Great Northern trains make the distance of
3J5 miles from London TO Edinburgh, via
York, in Q hours, the average speed being
AL miles al hour. From Euston square
the distance Is 4Ol miles, and London and
Northwestern trains make the run in 10
hours, on 40.l miles per hour. The fastest
train on the Great Northern makes the trip
10 Leeds from London at All average speed
Of 454 miles an hour. The Great Northern
trains IRON London to York make l6s miles at
as miles an hour, and at least one train runs to
Peterboro at 81 miles All hour. The run from
London 10 Grantham has been made repeat
edly at 81 miles an hour. The Flying
Dutchman, broad gauge, is the fastest train
in the world, making the run 10 Swindon at
53l5 miles an hour. On one occasion the
distance Of 10 miles was run in IL minutes,
or 70 miles am hour. In this country Jumbo,
one Of the Pennsylvania railroad locomo-
uves, drew a tram from Philadelphia 70
